It is a privilege to share this joyous occasion with you!

I am a wedding officiant, certified to perform weddings in the state of New Jersey.

I provide interfaith and non-denominational wedding officiant services and am honored to work with couples of all faiths, traditions and lifestyles. I have a selection of ceremony packages for you to choose from.They range in length and price so there is something for everyone. If you are planning a wedding in New Jersey, be sure to check out myPackages/Pricing.

I have put together some beautiful ceremonies for you to choose from. You may use one of these, or you may select from a collection of Ceremony Elements that I have gathered. If you would like, I will work with you to create a more personalized and unique ceremony.

For a description of each element in a ceremony and to read my ceremonies please go to the Ceremonies page. To choose from a collection of ceremony elements that I have gathered please see Build Your Ceremony page for a menu that allows you to create your own ceremony based on your preferences.

For those looking to avoid the stress and expense of a large wedding, I have designed a Seaside Ceremony for your beach wedding at the Jersey Shore.
